[forwarded from Harry Berger]
Just a word of gratitude for Anne's and Charlie's comments, which (as
always) send me back to re-think basic thoughts. Especially thoughts
about the variability of Sp's usage and the possible controls over
that variability exerted by categoreal oppositions, binaries,
over-againstness, you name it. Terms like "faerie" and "elf[in]" are
conspicuously and functionally fuzzy categories looking for
localizing oppositions that bring them into focus.
